Being, for Solo Piano

Having selected the material including some notes played with Cello – Kamancheh, singing along
with some sounds from the surrounding environment, I started composing this piece.
There has been no recording and fine tuning in a studio and all of the pieces have been recorded on mobile phone and ZOOM H6 recorder. I have played and recorded all instruments myself and no part
has been either midi or pre-recorded.
I began composing the piece on Adobe Audition Software and having fine-tuned the sounds, I have used architectural construction/creation and shadow techniques. There have been almost 20 layers
of work composed on this software and after obtaining the preliminary output, I continued working on the piece on Logic software where I added 35 more layers and finally produced a 4-channel piece.
This is the first piece I have composed electro-acoustically.

*Based on a poem by Ahmad Shamloo

My First Journey Was a Return

Libretto by Hansol Jung.  Music by Bora Yoon.  Sook Hee's Aria, from forthcoming Asian opera, Agassi, adapted from 2017 film by South Korean film director Park Chang-wook (Handmaiden, OldBoy, Lady Vengeance).  Based on novel Fingersmith by Sarah Waters. 

SOOK-HEE

My auntie called him her baby sire
Shall I call you my baby miss
While I kiss my thimble to your sharpness
Smooth those pointed tips to bliss,

oh so gently

Could I be
What you need
I thought I caught you hold your breath in
Did you hold your breath in

What’s the harm in playing with fire
When all you see is watery mist
Her moistened skin invites my tremors
Confuses all the dreams I’ve wished,

previously

Could I be
What you need
I thought I caught you hold your breath in
Do I feel
What I feel
Her scent descends upon my senses

Sour but bitter
Bitterly sweet
Sweet yet savory
Committed to memory
Committed to memory

Commit it

Dare I be
What you need … ?
